- Various devices, for example the current Razer Nabu watch, may use two independent display units: one OLED (organic light-emitting diode) unit and one LCD (liquid-crystal display) unit. For example, the OLED may display notifications received from a smartphone and may use high current. The OLED may require a high refresh rate. The LCD display may be used in current LCD watch technology for display of time and date. However, having two independent display units may not provide uniform color distribution and under the same lighting condition, so that one display unit may be bright and the other display unit may be dim. Thus, there may be a need for an improvement.
- According to various embodiments, a wearable device may be provided. The wearable device may include: a display panel having integrally formed a first display portion and a second display portion; and a driver circuit configured to control the first display portion with a first frequency and to control the second display portion with a second frequency.
- According to various embodiments, a method for manufacturing a wearable device may be provided. The method may include: integrally forming a display panel having a first display portion and a second display portion; and forming a driver circuit for controlling the first display portion with a first frequency and for controlling the second display portion with a second frequency.
